Normally it's just C:\, but as you have Win98 it could be E:\, D:\ or whatever where your W2K resides. Add the following line to boot.ini: %path to bootsect.lnx%="Fedora" (it could be D:\bootsect.lnx="Fedora" for example) 4. Restart and choose Fedora from the boot menu - see whether it does the trick.

I'm scaredy cat, uh, i mean conservative, with regards to grub et al. win2k is on C:\,E:\ is fat32 share, F:\ is linux FC3
would this be a good boot.ini to re-establish dual booting?
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
F:\bootsect.lnx="Fedora"
If you're not comfortable setting this up yourself, try using a tool designed for the job. "Bootpart" runs from Windows and will create a bootsect.lnx file for you and make the necessary change to boot.ini for you.
